The Home Front

The final episode of KUED's Emmy Award-winning series chronicles the stories of men and women of Utah's "Greatest Generation" who helped the war effort in munitions plants. a parachute factory, and the farms and neighborhoods of the state as World War II raged. Sacrifice was the watchword as Utahns of the front saved scrap metal, tended victory gardens, went without and prayed big brothers, fathers, husbands, friends, and neighbors would come home one day. Their stories demonstrate bravery and loss were experienced not just on the battlefields, but also on the home front.
